About Me...

Well, I love books and I like to share so that's why I'm here. I'll give you my thoughts and you give me yours. I'm always looking for book recommendations in any genre. I try for 52 books in 52 weeks thanks to a great Facebook group I joined a couple of years ago.

I am a mom with two kids who are my world. I am a technology resource specialist for 4th and 5th grade and love my job. I started blogging about a year ago and immediately loved it. I love everything bookish; reading reviews, writing reviews, and adding to my TBR list, which is getting quite long... :)

Ten things about me:

1. I love to read! (obviously) I especially love historical fiction, paranormal, young adult fiction, and fantasy.
2. I like to knit but I kind of suck at it. I am currently making a scarf using moss stitch that looks pretty good... I'm sure I will find a way to mess it up.
3. X-Files was my all time favorite show
4. I am addicted to technology. I have an iPhone 6, two Chromebooks, an iPad Air, a Nook, and a Fitbit. I love all of them!
5. I still have a lot to learn when it comes to blogging. 6. I like to play Xbox One. My son's friends are often astounded when they find out I am a higher level than them. I enjoy this...
7. I love to send funny (and usually completely inappropriate) e-cards to my friends.
8. I wish I had more time to plan recipes and cook. Dinner is not easy when you work full time and have kids in activities. I'm sure many of you know this and can relate!
9. I am not crafty... I need explicit directions to make anything and I usually end up with more glue on me than on the project. Thank goodness someone invented Pinterest. I also have no inner sense of direction, which can be quite humorous at times.
10. I can be gullible and my husband takes complete advantage of this, often conning me and then laughing as I begin to throw things at him once I have figured it out. It's a good thing I have a sense of humor. :)

Hi, Book Junkie I'm an active member of the Horror Writers Association withmy first novel being published by an independent, Larry Czeronka Publishing. INK is a horror novel, coming out at the end of June, co-written with my writing partner, Dale Pitman. As for my background, I've been a professional screenwriter up until this point with two films directed by acclaimed horror director Wes Craven. Would you consider looking at an Advanced Review Copy? Here is the blurb:

His studio has become his refuge and his prison - a place of boundless imagination and lonely isolation. Brian Archer, creator of a series of successful graphic novels about a vengeful supernatural being called “The Highwayman,” has become a recluse after the adoration of a female fan turned to rage and violence.

But all that changes when he meets a renowned and beautiful illustrator, A.J. Hart, who carries emotional scars of her own. Their work together is fueled by the unrequited passion they share and a mysterious bottle of black ink that arrives one day at Brian’s doorstep.

The impossibly dark liquid has mystical properties, making their characters appear so real they eventually come to life, reigning terror on those who mean them harm and if not stopped—threatens to unleash an apocalypse on all mankind. Brian must break free of his self-imposed exile and solve the mystery that allowed these terrible creatures into the world.

I came across your site via The Book Blogger List website. You may find it interesting to know that I was born under the sign of Aquarius, and I love cats and dogs equally.

In any event, I can tell that you enjoyed enjoyed Throne of Glass Series by Sarah J. Maas. Anyway, based on your amazing online and social media presence, it is obvious that you take books seriously but enjoy them. Your reviews are thorough and thoughtful. And, you clearly appreciate a variety of books as well as many other aspects related to books. These qualities are admirable ones in a book blogger.

Might I convince you to take a look at my upcoming book? Here is a brief synopsis: As part of the unbook series, YES, I NAMED MY DAUGHTER GAYLORD FOCKER. SO FOCKING WHAT! (OVER 1,000 REAL NAMES OF REAL PEOPLE, ALL WEIRD), is a "book" of lists. It lists many of the weird names that people have such as Martina Moron, Jesus Christ, Santa Claus, Dick End, and Candy Cane. These are names that people were given by their parents at birth, or in some cases, they are names that people legally had their names changed to. Impossible? Consider the oddball and myriad tattoos that people have. Anyway, it is not a book that will probably change the world, and it is a book that people are more likely to skim than to read, but it is worth a few bucks and it will produce a hundred smiles.
